Battery of a 4 week old macbook (2012) pro 13''. It reaches 100% after a hard time but fall down to 99% after few seconds. What is the problem?
Why does my newly bought Macbook pro 13'' 2012 battery has a hard time reaching 100%. It reaches to 100% with a longer charging but then falls down to 99% in a few seconds time. I have heard and read about calibration. But I think that the computer is young (only 4 weeks old) to be calibirated. What might be the issue here? This problem started just recently.
When my MBP is plugged into the wall (when I am near a plug, I usually have it plugged in) it will stop charging at 100% and drop slowly to 95% before auto-recharging to 100%.
Saves the circuits from charging all of the time.
I do run it on battery at least once a month down to 40%.

I have a Macbook Pro, a year old and it's started freezing all the time when I go to open pages, The small coloured wheel comes up a lot of the time, I have Mac Keeper and run this program but it doesn't sem to help. Do I have a problem with the hard drive or something else? This is very annoying.
Mac Keeper is a malware !!!! Read here and unistall this crap >>>
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3027
MacKeeper can be regarded as highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system. It is unethically marketed by a company called Zeobit and a rip-off.
Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware can be read here:

My 1 week old macbook pro battery is dying.
my 1 week old macbook pro battery is dying. i charged it to 100% then went to bed and this morning it is at 32% when turned on. What the heck?
my light does not flash in sleep mode.
Which means it isn't sleeping. Run the Console and put the computer sleep. Experiement with the sleep command and closing the lid. Does it sleep with the sleep command but not the lid? Does it not sleep in either case. In the Console, by default, you'll see all the messages that are logged. Pay attention to when you close the lid or execute the sleep command and pay attention to the log entries that occur at that time and shortly afterwards. You might find a sleep terminated type message which will give you a clue about why it isn't sleeping.
There are also programs that are known to cause insomnia. At the head of my list are all it one printer software because the drivers often constantly look for an incoming fax or the keypress from the AIO printer console.
One more thing - if you have been putting it to sleep and then disconnecting USB or FireWire devices - that's the problem. -
the system report in my 3 weeks old macbook air says that there is no battery installed but my macbook has a built in battery
Try a SMC reset:

If no success, reinstall the OSX.
If still no success, contact Apple support. A new MBA has 90 days of free Apple support.

Replacing my 2 week old Macbook Pro.
i've had my MacBook Pro for about 2 weeks now
within the first week i noticed problems with my display, well lid.
it has bubbles on the top of the lid, the edge of the screen is popped out, and the lid won't close evenly
now, if i go to an Apple Store and tell them my problems with a 2 WEEK OLD MACBOOK PRO,
will they replace my current MacBook Pro? or will they just replace the screen?
and i do have Apple Protection Plan for 3 years..well is it possible for them to fix it there?
oh and how long could that take for them to send it to apple?
sorry if im in anyway pushy or something
its just this is my first macbook pro and i dont want to be going back and forth to the apple store whch is an hour away from me.. thank you

My first kernel panic -- on my 3 week old MacBook
I just had my first kernel panic -- on my 3 week old MacBook. I just downloaded CoconutBattery last night. Do you think that could've caused this? To add insult to injury, I just called Apple, and Apple Care is already closed at 5:20 PST. Lame.
Here's the log. Does anyone have any suggestions on what may have caused this? thanks

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)Hey Damasta,
Sorry to hear about your problem... If you do a search in the forum, there are many posts on the subject.
If you have an Apple Store in town, take it to a "genius" so they can take a look at it.
Here's a link to some threads on the subject:

i have a brand new macbook pro that i was doing a data transfer via firewire from an old macbook, it got stopped/cable pulled out, now have spinning wheel of death that wont stop, how do i reboot/stop the wheel of death and start again? (this time il use time machine transfer)
Just power off the machine(s). Shut them down. Migration Assistant gets 'stuck' sometimes - best way to migrate really isn't over Firewire, though it will certainly work, but with both machines hardwired via Ethernet to the same router. You can use a TM backup, too, of course, provided that it's recent. Which is the best? Your choice. I've done it both ways and have a preference for MA, but TM restore can be a bit faster and less quarrelsome.

My Macbook Pro purchased Dec 2011 has suddenly become very slow after not using for 2 weeks (close to frozen). What is the problem and how to solve it?
Need Help Ye,
boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is it still very slow? -

What is the problem on MacBook Pro retina 15"?
I just bought a new MacBook Pro retina 15". After unboxing, I turned it on and there was no any problem. But the second time I turned it on and charge battery, I got 2 problems, 1. The machine made noise loudly and 2. The charging is not working. What is the problem on MacBook Pro retina 15"? However, after about 1 hour, it works normally. Should I still use it or sell it before it has more issues?
The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies. -
My MacBook Pro turns on but not all the way, it gives me an icon of a grey folder with a question mark in the middle, and won't go further that that. Anyone knows why, or what's the problem?
If these do not resolve the issue or if you are not comfortable with proceeding through these steps then take your Mac to an Apple store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. An Apple store will perform these initial steps, diagnose the problem, and give an estimate for repairs (if needed). If the Mac is less than one year old or is covered by AppleCare any repairs would be free.

The battery of my iPhone 5 easily discharges even when not in use. The unit was tested by Apple and passed the Battery Health Test although the performance showed otherwise. The battery deterioration started 11 months after purchase and is not covered by Apple warranty. What is the problem of the iPhone5 and would appreciate suggestions on how to address this problem. By the way, I have a 2 year old iphone 4S with a battery performance as good as when it was bought two years ago.

My macbook pro keeps rebooting. What is the problem?
Hi,
I have a macbook pro that I bought in August 2010. Performance has been awesome until this past month when I noticed it getting slower. This past weekend for the first time ever it would freeze and reboot itself. I took the action to clean up large files, unloaded some apps, etc. all things they say to speed up your mac in the youtube vids. Cleared up alot of space and it was moving faster for a day. Then this afternoon it froze again and rebooted, but never successfully rebooted and now is just rebooting constantly. I cannot even get to the log in screen anymore or turn it off completely....I am going to wait for the battery to die out, but what is the problem? What can I do to solve this? I downloaded the newest IOS X update this past saturday, thats when I think the rebooting started, but the computer was getting noticeably slower before that.
Thanks for the help, really dont know what I am doing hereTime to see about the PRAM battery.
By the way iOS and OS X are different systems.
iOS is the operating system for iPads, iPhones, and iPod touch.
Mac OS X is the operating system for Mac labelled computers. -
